Everyone has different environments that work best for them. Students perform better when they are given options on where to do their work. Students love the opportunity to stand, sit on a bean bag chair, or utilize a lap desk while doing their classwork. Using a variety of seating arrangements and flexible options makes school more engaging while supporting students' learning in ways that suit their needs. When a teacher can give options including bean bag chairs, standing and lap desks, the students can move about the classroom and produce their best work. Classrooms should always be about how to best meet the needs of students. When you give students an environment that is flexible and allows choice, the students feel connected to the environment and learn more. Through flexible seating, engagement increases along with student performance!
